Marang Gomke Astro Turf Hockey: AS she turns out for the Germany women's hockey team at the FIH Hockey Olympic Qualifiers in Ranchi, Selin Oruz nurtures a dream -- becoming a doctor with an Olympic gold medal around her neck.

Ric Charlesworth of Australia is one of the few doctors to win the Olympics and World Cup medals in hockey. But he did not win a gold medal at the Olympics. Selin is hoping that one day she will have an Olympic gold medal along with the bronze she won in the 2016 Olympics in Rio de Janeiro around her neck besides a stethoscope when she becomes a full-time doctor.

As she chases the dream of winning an Olympic gold medal, Dr. Selin Oruz, who has played 156 matches for Germany so far and scored four goals, sees a lot of similarities in medicine and hockey.
